Autolife (Nepal) Magazine - October 2013

In this issue

We had the sporty VW Polo GT TSI for our test drive on the last day leading to the Dashain festivities and with those practically empty roads, it was a blast shuttling this pocket rocket around the valley. The VW is a fine example of good things coming in small packages and it was truly amazing to experience such a power surge from a tiny 1.2 litre motor. The VW Polo definitely sets the new benchmark in its segment with the advanced technology and mechanisms. We also had the mean looking UM Renegade Commando and the hard-to-miss Commencal Meta Hip Hop 2 mountain bike on test and for more on the new vehicles that have arrived in town, don’t miss our Launch Pad section. On the touring side, while our Friends Of Royal Enfield set out to promote motorcycle tourism on World Tourism Day with a group ride towards the Nepal-China border at Kodari, we briefly caught up with three different overland groups driving into Nepal with exotic SUVs like the Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Hybrid prototype, Toyota FJ Cruiser, BMW X5, Lexus LX470, etc. Read more on their adventures inside along with the Owners Review of the Ford EcoSport, Evolution of Mitsubishi Motors and our experience at Skoda’s Test Drive Weekend. So that’s pretty much it for this issue and just exactly what the doctor would prescribe to shake off that festive hangover and take it easy. No overdose.
